From 2003 to 2006 Wouda Kuipers was General Manager in the Netherlands for Imperial Tobacco Group PLC , the fourth largest tobacco company in the world. From 2006 to 2011 he was General Manager for Germany and Switzerland at Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH, Hamburg , the German subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco. His successor was Marcus TR Schmidt . Wouda Kuipers has been Regional Director Western Europe at Imperial Tobacco since 2011, before taking on the role of Divisional Director for Return Markets in April 2013.

When he started working in Germany in March 2006, he also became a member of the board of the Association of the Cigarette Industry (VdC), representing the interests of the seven most important German cigarette manufacturers. On March 28, 2007 he was elected chairman of the association. After the dissolution of the VdC as a result of the surprising resignation of its most important member, Germany's market leader (37% market share) Philip Morris on July 29, 2007, five of the six remaining VdC member companies initiated the German Cigarette Association (DZV ) based in Berlin.
